Someone explained to me that it was a coal tower. When I saw it, I thought it might have been a water tower. Coal didn't even go through my mind. |

Nice.I also rode the first train to SPG and back to NHV. I clocked top speed at 80 but later on took Amtrak Shuttle 488 which got to 110 between Berlin and Newington, under the raised speed limits and with Amfleet coaches. |

I scanned local news for some info but found nothing. I was at Berlin station this morning between 6:45 and 7:30 and saw Amtrak 141 take on about 20 passengers, then saw a NB CTRail train drop off one and take 2 and saw 4 get on the next SB CT Rail. Of course those are laughable counts compared to this weekend but I don't know how the other stations fared. Both the Amtrak shuttles and regional trains are also CTRail trains in terms of fares. The Vermonters are not part of this. |
